How To Choose a Painter in Lenexa
Below are some factors to consider when choosing which residential painter to hire:
- Cost: Request price estimates from at least three painters. Be wary of any contractor that quotes a substantially lower price than others.
- Guarantees: Make sure you get all guarantees in writing, and that you understand the scope and duration of coverage.
- Paint types: Ask your paint pro to go over paint selections in detail, including the benefits and downsides of each. This will help you decide on the best option for your project. Some paints have better weather resistance or use more environmentally friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: Make sure the company you hire has the licensing required in Lenexa and in the state of Kansas. All painters should be properly bonded and insured. This is especially important if they’re working with power equipment or on ladders. If your home was built prior to 1978, and you're concerned about the presence of lead, consider looking for a contractor who is accredited by the Kansas Residential Lead Hazard Prevention Program to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Ask family and friends for references, or use the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to browse companies you’re considering. You can also read customer feedback on sites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
